Fantastic. Germany also yields some beautiful agates. Maybe time for Shotgunner to organize an agate field trip to Europe. That is a seed of a fantastic idea!

Yeah, Matra Mountains moss is some of the most beautiful in the world. Great lighting and photography in the pics helps a lot too. The few examples I've seen in person don't seem to pop as much as the ones pictured but they were not out in bright sunlight. Very cool that the guy who posted these was able to really capture the sunlight colors....Mel Those are incredibly vivid colors. In fact I have never seen such reds and oranges in person. I have to say that I am highly suspicious of rocks on black backgrounds as they are extremely easy to photoshop to supersaturate the colors and it is hard to detect. Not saying this is the case here, but I sure would like to see some other known reference colors in the shot. I know of other rock picture cases where the reds were this incredible and yes, it was a case of manipulation. Anyway though, those are really gorgeous stones. No overdo the colors here, in reality more beautiful!

Don't feel bad Larry. I live in the land of monochrome coral. Yes, folks, monochrome corals. Here is one. Which chrome is mono in this mage?

wwww.rayer-mnerals.com also has a fantastic collection of these photographed and also a few in his for sale section. His pics are equally colorful in his collection section but not so much so in the for sale section. Probably sells his less colorful examples. He has a huge collection of droolworthy agate pics on this site and it's well worth a tour.......Mel

yes, 25 pounds of hungarian agates! I am hoping to be George's USA distribution point so buyers can buy using FRB boxing. Faster and cheaper that way.
